the denominator. In (30) we are to introduce under the integral sign the additional factor M>2sin2#. As regards the second term of (87) we have

where in - -7- we are to replace r by + (y — tj). We then assume as before
y — b cos 0, rj = 1} cos a, and the same definite integrals hn suffice ; but the calculations are more complicated.
We have seen already that the leading term in (87) is TT. For the next term we have

The latter integral may be transformed into

When cos a = 0, or ±1, the calculation is simpler. Thus, when cos a = 0,t departure from (86) is entailed when kb is no longer very small.
